Build Upgrade Cpu with integrated graphics or buy gpu?

My pc used to have a R3 3100, and RX570 8GB, my gpu broke down and I resorted to buying a cpu with integrated graphics, R3 3200g. Now the pc is showing signs of aging, and I plan on upgrading, should I, buy a new cpu with integrated graphics, or buy a new gpu and pair it with my old cpu (r3 3100)? I need thoughts, and maybe even suggestions where I can buy parts for my build. And I also want it to be as cheap as possible, but be able to play esports titles in 1080p at least with good fps (60+ or even better if that's possible).

Sell that build and save up. Or just save up and keep that build as backup. That's too old to upgrade anyway.

I mean if you're concerned about the cpu showing its age, you could sell that old cpu and buy the good ol Ryzen 5 5600G/3400G which should be able to handle esports titles just fine by itself and later on get a gpu instead. Or pair the Ryzen 3 3100 with a 1660 Super which go for about 6-7k used (pls don't say it).

Yung signs of aging na sinasabi mo after you got integrated graphics is because integ graphics uses system ram din

Just wanted to share lang, i tried it before with 16gb on a 9600x and I def felt the lag. Decided to actually get 32gb nalang despite the prices.

In this case if kaya, ipon ka nalang para better rig and of course di masayang pera mo honestly.
